The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) framework seeks to create a
harmonized data protection framework across the European Union, and aims
to give back EU citizens control of their personal data by imposing stricter
requirements for those hosting and processing this data, anywhere in the
world.
IBM is committed to putting data responsibility first and providing solutions
that are secure to the core for all customers. As such, IBM Cloud has fully
adopted the EU Data Protection Code of Conduct for Cloud Service providers
– meaning we agree to meet the entirety of its stringent requirements.

DB2 is a proven database for handling the most demanding transactional workloads. But the trend as of
late is to enable relational databases to handle analytic queries more efficiently by adding an inmemory
column store alongside to aggregate data and provide faster results. IBM's BLU Acceleration
technology does exactly that. While BLU isn't brand new, the ability to spread the column store across
a massively parallel processing (MPP) cluster of up to 1,000 nodes is a new addition to the technology.
That, along with simpler monthly pricing options and integration with dashDB data warehousing in the
cloud, makes DB2 for LUW, a very versatile database.

We know that flash storage can provide significant benefits and deliver needed agility for large businesses, but what about medium-sized businesses (MMB = 500 to 999 employees)?
IBM asked Forrester Consulting to look into adoption and use of flash storage technologies by mid-market organizations. A snapshot survey of 106 IT professionals found the following:
› MMBs are actively adopting flash storage
› Flash is exceeding expectations regarding cloud management, flexibility and security
› A majority of respondents expect to continue their investments, with almost half aspiring to an all-flash storage environment.
